New BMW Performance Suspension-Pictures

Just recieved my new kit and will install this Tuesday at Motorwerks of Houston.

I did not anticipate all new hardware and bushings with the kit. Have a look.

I though the pics were upside down at first. Lots of parts, hope it all fits well.

No rear sway?

I have not purhased a rear sway bar. I heard the labor is pretty extensive, have to remove the axel stuff?

My prime goal was to lower the car about 1/2 that this setup will do.

I am a spirited street guy and will probably never be on a track. However, I can see one step leading to another so we will see.

I was more interested in a M3 style strut brace and the tighter rear bushings as next steps.

Its insane all the new hardware. My shop was surprised at the extra workload it led to.

The hardware replaces parts that are removed and replaced in any event duirng the install. Am I wrong?

Where is the extra labor?

Very Cool. Congrats. Rear Sway Is A Pain To Install But If You're Going To Track Then Well Worth It. Really. . . If You Drive Your Car Hard Its Pretty Fun Even Off The Track
